Incomplete PainChek® Assessments

  • Updated

When conducting a PainChek® Assessment, you may find that you need to obtain some additional details before you can complete the Assessment (e.g. referring to a Resident's medical history). The PainChek® App provides a Save Later feature that allows you to pause the current Assessment so that you can complete it a short time later.

Note

  • The Save Later feature is not enabled on all PainChek Accounts. If it is not enabled on your Account, you will not see the "Later" option as described below and you will need to complete or delete the current Assessment before moving onto a new one.

  • We strongly recommend all PainChek® Assessments are completed in one session and as soon as possible after they are started. This will lead to the most timely Assessments and best Resident outcomes.

Limitations

If you have an incomplete Assessment for a Resident, you are not able to start another Assessment for that Resident. You are able to create new Assessments for other Residents.

Reminders

If you chose to use the Save Later feature, you will be reminded every 30 minutes you have an Assessment to complete.

On the first three reminders, you have three options:

  • Complete - You can complete the Assessment.

  • Delete - You can discard the incomplete Assessment.

  • Later - You can defer completing the Assessment for another 30 minutes.

On the fourth (last) reminder, you have two options:

  • Complete - You can complete the Assessment.

  • Delete - You can discard the incomplete Assessment.
